This beautifully illustrated cookbook is the definitive guide to making sweet and savoury sauces, with over 300 contemporary and classic recipes. A simple dish can be elevated from the ordinary to the sublime with the help of an exquisite sauce, salsa or marinade -- think of poached peaches floating in a pool of warm marsala zabaglione, or grilled tuna steak embellished with a colourful smoky pepper salsa, or a chicken breast steeped in a tangy lemon and honey marinade. Alternatively, sauces can be at the very heart of a dish -- pungent basil pesto tossed with pasta or a lively Thai green curry, for instance. In Sauces & Salsas, Oded Schwartz has drawn from the treasured repertoire of sauces, salsas and marinades of the world's cuisines to create an eclectic collection of recipes. He includes everything from simple no-cook salsas that feature a vibrant synergy of fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs and spices, and dressings that enliven the most basic mixed leaf salad, to marinades that provide almost instant flavour to meat or fish, and oriental dipping sauces that can be made in a matter of minutes. Stunning photographs not only illustrate finished dishes, but also show them in various stages of preparation, allowing the reader to see essential sauce-making techniques. Characterized by Oded Schwartz's flair for simple but flavourful cooking, Sauces & Salsas is an essential fund of inspiration for modern cooks.

Serving students and general readers alike, this encyclopedia addresses the myriad and profound ways foods have shaped the world we inhabit, from prehistory to the present. Written with the needs of students in mind, Foods That Changed History: How Foods Shaped Civilization from the Ancient World to the Present presents nearly 100 entries on foods that have shaped history—fascinating topics that are rarely addressed in detail in traditional history texts. In learning about foods and their importance, readers will gain valuable insight into other areas such as religious movements, literature, economics, technology, and the human condition itself. Readers will learn how the potato, for example, changed lives in drastic ways in northern Europe, particularly Ireland; and how the potato famine led to the foundation of the science of plant pathology, which now affects how scientists and governments consider the dangers of genetic uniformity. The entries document how the consumption of tea and spices fostered global exploration, and how citrus fruits led to the prevention of scurvy. This book helps students acquire fundamental information about the role of foods in shaping world history, and it promotes critical thinking about that topic.
